Chris,

why don't you give your two cents first? I agree that the statistics for being taken to a secondary location, as happened in my case, is not great.

Very frequently, that will lead to a really bad outcome.

But I do think that we all inherently have a certain set of gut reactions.

And so I would encourage that mom to tell her teens to check in with their parents bodies, if they are in a situation that feels uncomfortable, if you've got prickles on the back of your neck or you just have this feeling of something not being right, don't try to excuse it away.

Don't try to talk yourself out of this reaction and say, well, it's nicely dressed or I've got friends here, whatever the excuse might be to justify that.

why you shouldn't feel uncomfortable.

I love
